Aim: To have own OpenId provider connected with self-hosted Wordpress blog, so Wordpress admin could use his OpenId to login to Admin Panel, and also to comment other blogs with this OpenId.

Blog address: http://blog.blomqvist.no OpenId provider: /id/ OpenId created: same as blog address

WP Plugins used:

WP-Yadis 1.2.1

XRDS-Simple 1.0

OpenId 3.3.2

I have installed phpMyId as OpenId provider. I have managed to connect created OpenId and management panel login, so Admin could login to management panel with created OpenId.

However, i can't use this OpenId anywhere else, not on blogspot, not on other wordpress blogs etc.

There do seem to be some issues with the phpmyid implementation. I installed it on my blog actually, but I could not use it here on stackoverflow last time I tried (admittedly, about a year ago) and had to use my google openid.

  • most strange thing, is that when i were writing question here, i've wrote that created OpenId (i didn't have account on stackoverflow before), and it works here. But not on other blogs. – Valerii Shypunov May 05 '10 at 15:23
  • also, i'm not sure, if reason is in the phpMyId, as i could use that OpenId with /id/index.php (place, where phpMyId installed). But, that variant is not that good, because after i will comment some blog, link will go to 'mysite/id/index.php' instead of 'mysite' – Valerii Shypunov May 05 '10 at 15:52
  • That can easily be rectified by putting the following meta tags in your blog's home page: Then you can just use "http://yourblog.com" as your openid URL. This also has the benefit of letting you change your openid provider in the future ;-) – Joel Martinez May 05 '10 at 17:08
